·Before
you start
·Before you start, choose a warm, dry day (above
10°C) and clear the deck.
1. Give your decking a good scrub with a stiff brush. This will remove dirt,
loose bits of wood and any loose coatings.
2. Then hose it down thoroughly, or better still, give it a blast with a jet
wash. You need to get rid of all the dirt, if you don't the paint won't stick
to your wood. To get the best result use our Decking Cleaner & Reviver -
this will make the paint stick better and last longer.
3. Let your deck dry fully before painting.
·Application
·1. Give the paint a good stir, it's best to use
something wide like an old wooden spoon. Check you're happy with the colour.
Find a hidden part of the deck and try it.
2. Get loads of paint on your brush. Start in the furthest corner, brushing
along the length of the boards. Work on 3-4 boards at a time so you don't get
any overlap marks. If your deck has got small cracks, brush in extra paint
until they're filled.
3. You'll need to put on 2 coats. Leave 4 hours between each coat. After 48
hours you'll be able to get your furniture out and use the deck.
4. If you get any paint on yourself, wash it off with warm soapy water.
·Aftercare
·Clean Up
·Wipe as much paint off your brush or pad as you
can. Then wash it out in warm, soapy water. Don't empty any leftover paint into
drains or watercourses. Your local authority may have special ways to get rid
of unused paints.
·Maintenance
·Check your deck once a year. If it's showing signs
of wear put another coat of Ultimate Protection Decking Rescue Paint on.
